Injured Hodgson to sit out Fontana

From Corona Extra Honda

LOS ANGELES, CA -- Corona Extra Honda Racing’s Neil Hodgson unfortunately will miss this weekend's Auto Club Speedway AMA Superbike event due to a training accident that had him hospitalized this past Sunday. 

Hodgson, who was training on his motocross bike, hit a fallen rider’s machine and went down hard. He was hospitalized because of breathing difficulties, found to be caused by a collapsed lung. He also injured some ribs and dislocated his shoulder. He has been kept in Loma Linda Hospital for observation.

Last year's Corona Extra Honda rider and Auto Club Speedway Superstock winner Jake Holden will take over the piloting duties for the Honda CBR1000RR Superbike for the event.
